Commonly referred to by area residents as the "hippie garden." (Sometimes it's pejorative, sometimes affectionate. Depends on the tone.) The other major public garden in Davis is the Experimental College Garden. It appears that the city's open container ordinance does not apply to this park. There is a waiting list for renting plots here. Contact the coordinator at communitygardens@cityofdavis.org to be added to the waiting list.
For information on gardening and other gardens in Davis, see the gardening page.

2010-11-30 15:09:25 All are welcome to visit the garden, but please don't steal our produce! Gardeners invest time, energy, and money in their plots. Chances are, if you stop to chat nicely with the gardeners, you may be offered some surplus during harvest times! (Gardeners regularly donate their surplus to Davis Community Meals.) —JaneSchaferKramer
